Shoulder Mount Cougar?

[MichaelJ]

Hey Michael , that thing will more than likely slip. Been there done that and everything that I have gotten in that was salted and put in a freezer all slipped. It will never freeze and what happens is the bacteria in the hide continues to grow. If I was going to do anything to try and save it I would pressure tan it in a allum tan. That will be the best bet for saving that cougar. Beings it was mostly dry might be your saving grace. Get it to me and I will give ya a good deal (since you helped me out packing my bull) if it is salvageable.

Thats what I was scared of...
The closest I can get to getting this thing done is probably the first or second week in june after I get a paycheck or two...  I'll also have to have one of my parents come and drop the hide off as I'll be in John Day and the hide will be in Wenatchee...

Found this picture... this is about exactly what I want!

That would be the cast lip and nose McKenzie pedestal mount, pretty cool mount . I went to a seminar and watched Scott Brewer of Spokane make his own cast lip cougar head from a Scott Leonard change out. It was cool, learned alot form him.

That is the same exact form I posted a link to on the first page.  Stary saving your Deer and Elk Capes.  You can probably get some shop credit for depending on who you take it to.

Hey Charlie,

  I was at that seminar. Wasnt it in Yakima?

[Elkstuffer]

I was there also. I must have met both of you. Small world.

[bucklucky]

Yup in Yakima, was a good seminar. I was in the front row I think. Bob Hooker is a good freind of mine if you guys know him. I really like the Scott Leonard heads. I used on the cougar rug I did and pre sculpted the lips and mouth. I had to give it a shot to see how I could do. One of the things I dont like about the cast lip and nose forms is that I think it kind of takes away from what good taxis can do. Kind of helps even the field a little bit. Sure is nice having a near perfect mouth to work around

CRAP, that would have been cool.

[bucklucky]

Well Bone if we ever get the Txidermy assosiation squared away again there will be more good seminars, but till then 

[bucklucky]

Oh by the way, I use the cast lip systems.
